What would you do?

My son has been bullied in school so badly that he has had several nose bleeds after another boy punching him and kneeing him in the face and coming home crying at night not to go to school. I pulled him out of that school as the school did nothing about it.

Anyway, my problem is my husband saw the bullies mother in the shop. He came home and told me That he saw her in the shop. He said that she had spoke to him and that he spoke back to her with general chit chat.

I am absolutely fuming. Really upset by it. Surely this isn’t right?

I’m unsure of what you are asking OP? Should your dh not talk to her? Or should the school do more?

Young- I mean DH shouldn’t talk to her. They don’t know each other apart from knowing that the kids are in the same school.

Yeah I dunno, I wouldn’t be ignoring her anyway because that’s just childish. But I wouldn’t initiate conversation either.

Thanks for your reply.

Does anyone else think he should have spoke to her?

I can see why you are annoyed it's a tricky one... I would be absolutely mortified if my LG turned into a bully I really would and maybe she feels the same? I don't know, it's difficult to give my opinion without knowing the circumstances. Is she mortified? Has she ever apologised on her sons behalf?
If she hasn't taken it seriously and has just brushed it off then yes you OH was unreasonable to talk to her.

We spoke to the school about it but I’m not sure if she knows that it’s our son that he’s been beating up. if that makes sense?

Really not sure what you are fuming about.

I'd be fuming too. I'd have told her exactly what I think of her cretin of a son too 🙄

I'm sorry your son experienced this level of bullying ❤️

I'd be fuming too. I'd have told her exactly what I think of her cretin of a son too 🙄

@Purplerain maybe she already knows, maybe is a daily battle for her, maybe she can’t handle him at all. Maybe she popped to the shop for a few minutes peace and doesn’t need reminding!

Do you see her around much,if so make a point of talking to her, ask her if she knew it was your son being bullied by her son,that should make things clear to her, don't get angry when you say it as that serves no purpose, I bet she will feel awful that her son is a bully.

Tbh I wouldn't have to say a word if that was our kids and my dh saw the bullies parents ANYWHERE and they even tried to say hello they would have gotten 'educated' on the matter!! Don't care if she struggles, don't care if she don't want to hear it, shop or not, the fact is her son is physically abusing your son she is a parent it's her responsibility to stop her child beating people up point black, no excuse for it. If my child ever hit anyone it would be my responsibility and I can guarantee it wouldn't happen again!
Ur DH should not have spoken to her unless he was "educating" her on the matter and finding out what she is gonna do about it!! He was well out of order ur kid

Sorry poster to soon
Was gonna say
Ur kid comes first not her feelings! Totally on ur team here

Does she know? Have the school done anything? I am in blissful ignorance that my son is coping with high school, nobody has suggested otherwise.
I would be mortified to find out he was a bully. I was bullied horrendously at school. It's a shit place to be parent or child.
She may be like me, just not aware of the situation
